Benitez sparks Liverpool return rumours

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez won't rule out a return to England. The Mirror says bookies have Benitez among the favourites to succeed Brendan Rodgers at Liverpool as doubts emerge over the Ulsterman.

And the former Anfield boss did little to halt that speculation, when he admitted he found it hard being parted from his family, while he manages Napoli in Italy.

"My wife and two daughters live in Liverpool. It's the first time I haven't had them with me, it's not easy. [Napoli owner Aurelio] De Laurentiis knows how important my family values are to me," he explained.
